Test bank 100%Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing, 6th Edition questions and correct answers 2024 You are a nurse researcher interviewing senior oncology nurses, asking them to describe how they deal with the loss of a patient. The analysis of the interviews yields common themes describing the nurses' grief. This is an example of which type of study? - CORRECT ANSWER Qualitative study. (A qualitative study involves inductive reasoning to develop generalizations or theories from specific observations or interviews. Historical research establishes facts and relationships concerning past events. Correlational research is exploration of the interrelationships among variables of interest without any intervention by the researcher. An experimental study involves the use of tightly controlled subject groups, variables, and procedures to eliminate bias and ensure that findings can be generalized to similar groups of subjects.) An operating room nurse is talking with colleagues during a meeting. She asks, "I wonder if we would see fewer wound infections if we used chlorhexidine instead of povidone-iodine to clean the skin of our surgical patients? What does the P represent in this example of a PICOT question? - CORRECT ANSWER Surgical patients. (Surgical patients are the patient population of interest (P) in the PICOT (patient population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) question. The intervention is the cleaning of the skin, and the comparison of interest is between chlorhexidine use and povidone-iodine use. Operating room nurses are not an element of the PICOT question.) A nurse researcher is designing an exercise study that involves 100 patients who attend a wellness clinic. As the patients come to the clinic, each has a choice as to whether he or she wants to be in the new exercise program or remain in the traditional program. The nurse plans to measure the patients' self-report of exercise before and 6 months after the program begins. What factor might influence the results of this study in an unfavourable way? - CORRECT ANSWER Sampling method. (Because the patients at the clinic are allowed their choice of the traditional versus the new exercise program, the sampling in this study is not random sampling.) The foundation of research is which of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER Scientific method. (The scientific method is the foundation of research and is the most reliable and objective of all methods of obtaining knowledge. Documentation, critical thinking, and evidence are not the foundations of research.) A researcher gives a subject full and complete information about the purpose of a study. This is an example of which of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER Informed consent. (Informed consent implies that the research subjects are given full and complete information about the purpose of the study, procedures, data collection, potential harms and benefits, and alternative methods of treatment. Confidentiality rules guarantee that any information the subject provides will not be reported to people outside the research team. Bias is any personal opinion or judgement that may be interjected into the results. Anonymity means that the subject's name and identifying information would not be disclosed during the research study.) A new nurse on an orthopedic unit is assigned to care for a patient undergoing skeletal traction. The nurse asks a colleague, "What is the best practice for cle
